An unusual scene occurred around the 36th minute of the second half. After a hard collision with his opponent midfielder Vladimir Coufal, who passed the conversion pass to the other side, he collapsed on the ground and complained of pain. Afterwards, Son Heung-min, who was limping as if he was uncomfortable, passed a desperate kill pass to Pape Sar in the 42nd minute of the second half, and was replaced in the 43rd minute of the second half by Alejo Velis, born in 2003. Fans were worried when they saw him limping.

Due to a series of injuries to the offense and defense line, including James Maddison, the team has recorded only 1 draw, 4 losses, and 1 point in the last 5 games, and the absence of Captain Son Heung-min, who leads Tottenham on and off the pitch, is a bad news that is hard to imagine.

Ahead of the home game once morest Newcastle, the extent of captain Son Heung-min’s injury is a hot topic of interest among fans and media. Fans’ concerns spread as images of Son Heung-min, sitting on the bench following being replaced, clutching his face while complaining of pain, surrounded by club trainers spread through social media. Coach Postekoglou, who held a press conference on the 9th, answered “no” when asked if there were any updates regarding Son Heung-min’s injury.

“I last heard from him late Thursday night, and he was obviously a little sore following the game, but we’ll have to see how well he recovers today. There were a couple of other players (who were concerned regarding injuries), but I don’t think there are any major problems.”
In an interview with the club’s media team immediately following the West Ham game, Son Heung-min said, “It hurts a little. It hurts a lot more than when I first hit him. I was kicked hard in the back. Even following the game, it hurt a little so I took painkillers. I’ll have to see a doctor tomorrow, but he’s in serious condition.” “I just hope it’s not,” he said.
Coach Postekoglou did not hide his anger following the upset loss to West Ham. In the past five games, the routine of scoring a goal early in the first half of each game to gain momentum, then allowing an equalizer and a come-from-behind goal, missing three points, was repeated. Tottenham suffered the stigma of being the first team in the Premier League to record 5 consecutive games without a win (1 draw, 4 losses) following leading 1-0 in each game along with 3 consecutive losses at home. Captain Son Heung-min also self-criticized Tottenham, calling them “soft,” and coach Postekoglou also raised his voice toward the team, which failed to bring victory despite 717 passes, 75% possession, and 23 shots.
Regarding this, Director Postekoglou said, “I am angry because this is something that should not have happened.” “Five consecutive wins is unacceptable and I think we are weak. This should not happen. I love our players and I love working with them, but this should never happen.” said. Regarding how to regain the killer instinct that Tottenham lacks, Coach Postekoglou said, “You must not hesitate. You must work hard. This can be solved through training to constantly be exposed to such situations during the game and not avoid such situations.” He said. “If you want to play for a big club, especially a successful big club, you have to have the confidence to do so,” he emphasized.
